The Lou Reed cover of that is also a classic.

8·12 hours agoI remember a movie about one being found on the moon.

2·3 days agoGOIP appears to be a network to GSM gateway, however GSM is dead in an awful lot of places these days. And SMS marketing should die ;). But, it seems like this functionality (if you don’t want to use something like Twilio) could be implemented as a phone app, rather than requiring a special piece of hardware.
Can’t read due to ad blocker stopping some NYT javascript from working, despite the gift code. This works: https://archive.ph/GPhB0
Do you want something that also has CDN like Cloudflare? Bunny.net is good, but way more expensive than a cheap VPS if you use a lot of traffic.

Guitars were a 1960s thing I believe. Here is what the in-group plays now:

“Most of the party’s leaders want to avoid too much focus on Donald Trump’s felonies. JB Pritzker, the governor of Illinois, feels differently”.
5·5 days agoI had heard of AI girlfriends so I guess AI boyfriends makes sense too. Question: what happens if you fix up two AI’s with each other?
I had thought toxoplasma gondii was another vector for these illnesses. It is famously spread by cat poop if anyone wants to know.
13·6 days agoI wouldn’t bother with the Fiverr thing but interesting personal projects and FOSS contributions are both good. Sizeable FOSS projects mean you’re working with other people which brings both benefits and challenges, and more closely resembles the “job” world. You could also look for actual paying work (not gig work like Fiverr, that is crap) if you have the time for it (summer job might be possible). Look at the monthly “Who is hiring” thread (first weekday of each month) on news.ycombinator.com, look on craigslist, etc.
Getting involved in FOSS is pretty simple. Find a project with a list of open tasks or an issue tracker, find something that interests you, say you are interested in working on that task, and start contributing patches. Usually if the project is not a high-visibility one with a lot of contributors already, it will welcome any help it can get. Lots of such projects have Freenode IRC channels where you can chat with the other devs in real time. I’m less comfortable with the ones that use Discord, but that’s just me.
Biden’s appointment advisers might have known something that Wikipedia didn’t. They do vet and interview the person at some length, to avoid surprises. Tldr, Wikipedia is useless for this.
“Press freedom groups say the investigation of Gustavo Gorriti, a noted Peruvian journalist, is politically motivated and part of a growing campaign against the news media.”
Market will depend on your location but there are usually some refurb thinkpads on woot:
That would be Guix, I think. Debian is pretty traditional.
I just use Debian and it’s fine. I don’t understand the point of using “Debian-based” instead of just plain Debian. Maybe I’m missing something but we have some Ubuntu machines at work and it’s hard to tell much difference.
17·10 days agoNo idea about the Freemasons but we do talk about you on the alternate lemmy.world server port… oh wait I wasn’t supposed to mention that.
Mozilla, you’re drunk. Go home and go to bed.
